Former Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button has achieved a Guinness World Record for the highest number of strikes on a Batak board. The Batak board is an interactive game that is used by Formula 1 drivers to improve their reaction speed, stamina, and hand-eye coordination. It is a light reaction machine that randomly illuminates targets across a board, and players must hit each light within a set time to test their ability to react quickly and maintain focus.
Jenson Button, known for his quick reflexes on the race track, managed to strike 58 lights on the Batak board in just 30 seconds. This beat the previous record of 56 strikes, which was set in October 2019 by Iranian Arshia Shahriarhi. Button received his Guinness World Record from an official adjudicator after completing the challenge.
DB Entertainment offers Batak Pro hire for events, which allows participants to experience the same game that Formula 1 drivers use to improve their skills. The Batak Pro is a professional-grade Batak board that features different game modes and challenges. It is a great addition to trade shows, exhibitions, and other events that want to offer an interactive and engaging activity for attendees.
In addition to his recent Guinness World Record, Jenson Button has also beaten his former teammate and seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, in a 60-second Batak challenge. Button said, "Always nice to add a new trophy to the collection - and an official Guinness World Record at that. I set my unofficial record in my twenties, so it's great to see that I've still got it, twenty years later."
